Video: Skiing 2.5 Million Vertical Feet in a Year

This short documentary takes us on a globe-spanning quest with skier Aaron Rice who has set a goal for himself to ski 2.5 million human-powered vertical feet in a single year. To accomplish this goal, he'll need to ski more than 330 days, which means he'll be chasing snow in different regions of the world. This turns this endeavor into quite a grind for both body and mind, leaving little room for error.
